918 SPYDER · possibility of fire
22 May 2015 · R/2015/107
The wiring harness for the left hand radiator could be touching a heat guide plate made of carbon fibre. Therefore the harness could be damaged causing the radiator fan to stop working and an electric short circuit to the low resistance heat guide plate cannot be ruled out. This electric short circuit can cause the vehicle to catch fire even a long time after stopping the vehicle.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the routing of the wiring harness and the harness condition. The harness must be secured to the water tube using an additional tie wrap clamp. If the wire harness is damaged it must also be repaired.

911 · rear hub may detach
10 Dec 2012 · R/2012/156
Current market observations have shown that the track usage of many vehicles in the 911 model line now comes close to that of pure GT3 racing vehicles. The component stresses associated with race track use and competitive driving are much higher than for a sporty driving style on public roads. The revision intervals for race track use must be observed particularly for highly stressed chassis components in the same way as is required for GT3 racing vehicles. If these revision intervals are not observed the failure of highly stressed components and breakage of hubs on the rear axle for example cannot be ruled out particularly in the case of components in advanced stages of wear.
Fix: In order to standardise revision intervals the wheel hubs on the rear axle will be replaced by standard wheel hubs on the affected vehicles with central wheel lock
